Driving Freedom, Wealth & Legacy in Trucking!

At By the Books Consulting, we firmly believe that every trucking entrepreneur holds the key to realizing the American Dream—a life marked by financial freedom, enduring wealth, and a legacy that echoes down the highways of time. Yet, this journey kicks off with something deceptively simple yet incredibly impactful: clarity and focus.

 

In the realm of trucking, your accounting systems, workflows, and processes are the bedrock upon which your dreams ride. They should be the guiding lights that illuminate your path to success. However, all too often, these vital components fall short of delivering the clarity and precision needed. Even when they do provide the data, many fleet owners find themselves overwhelmed and confused, unsure of how to translate that information into actionable strategies.

 

But here's the key: this challenge is also your greatest opportunity. It's the gateway to achieving the freedom you desire on the open road, accumulating lasting wealth mile after mile, and leaving a legacy that resonates through every turn and stop.

 

At By the Books Consulting, we specialize in transforming financial complexity into a beacon of opportunity. We're here to empower you with the insights, strategies, and confidence you need to make informed decisions. With our expert guidance, you'll not only decipher the numbers but also chart a course to financial liberation.

Imagine a future where your financial tracking, reporting, and tax strategies not only make sense but propel you forward. A future where you're in control, confident in your financial choices, and on the path to building a legacy that will stand the test of time.

Join us on this transformative journey, where financial clarity and focus become your superpowers, paving the way to the American Dream—freedom, wealth, and a legacy that defines you as the true entrepreneur you were meant to be.

Ready to embark on this extraordinary adventure? Let's start charting your path to success today.

 

Ironclad Financial Tracking

Gain peace of mind, knowing you don't have to look over your shoulder. Maintain tax and industry compliance. Have a foundational awareness of your company's financial position so you can quickly level up. 

Financial Literacy

Tracking the reality makes a true impact only when you have complete understanding of it. We help you navigate the financial story so it has meaning and relevance to you.

Business Systems

Missing components or systems inside operations can strain your company or cause a slow death. Catapult your operations to the next level by putting everything together. 

How We Help Our Clients

Month End Close. Eliminate the stress, overwhelm, and confusion around compliance tasks like bookkeeping, financial tracking and reporting. HAVE SOMEONE TAKE INTO ACCOUNT EVERYTHING ABOUT YOUR BUSINESS. Set it and forget it so we can bring you to a complete financial reality, which is the foundation for taking your business to the next level. 

Total Advisory. Have you ever been unsure about what the numbers mean? Sales, gross profit, net profit and everything in between? It can be pointless and frustrating when the numbers don't make sense. Even more, YOU COULD BE WASTING TIME AND THROWING MONEY AWAY! We help you make sense of what's happening so critical adjustments can be made. This is a game changer!

Systems Advisory. Lack of proper systems will cause your business to be STUCK or even FAIL. This could be another point of frustration, apathy and hopelessness for the future of your company. There are ways to leverage your systems so you can do more with less. This is the technology component. We help you navigate this crucial area.

Tax Strategy. It's not always about how much you make. More importantly, it's about how much you keep. We help reduce your company's tax exposure.

Thank you for bringing organization and structure my business as a Motor Carrier. I highly recommend Cheston Bulgin at By the Books Consulting not only as an accountant but a creative visionary and a leader in his industry.
